    I own neither, but my understanding is that Zeta's and Gabriel (and Toyworld's Devastator, below) are about 24'', while Warbotron's is about 15'' ish''

    Edit - found this pic (from this thread) via a Google search:

    Just for clarification, Zeta's figures stand right around 20" tall, not 24". You're looking at a 5 - 6" height difference in that photo.

    ^That's a good price, even better than what I paid at showz recently which is surprising.

    Damn you BBTS! I can't compete with that price. These warbo boxes are huge and heavy. It would cost me probably around $60 just to ship the whole set. I wonder where BBTS is getting these figures from. Doubt Warbotron is reissuing them. Mine is up for sale if anyone is interested, but I can't really compete with BBTS' prices.

    ^ I believe it was a reissue. I got mine from showz a month or 2 ago for 167.99$ and it came in a box set, the figure was in combined mode. It's a decent set especially at that price. I am using mine for bot mode, hopefully someone will take a crack at a proper 20" sized Computron eventually.

    Man seeing this Warbotron brings me back to that era when I first started and almost every week was a new reveal,Truly MY Golden era of this hobby. Also If only UT did a box set like this for Ordin/Abominus I would so be in.

    Unfortunately WB-06 is $175.00 US Dollars on eBay & BBTS is impractical for a UK buyer ; I guess I'll have to see if anyone in china or the UK has it for a similar price as even 10% off the ebay price still would be a bit expensive.

    $164.23 here
    Warbotron WB WB-03 Computicon (Computron) 5 in 1 Giftset Reissue 38cm /15"
    $167.99 (with a 3% new user coupon on the site too)

    I'll have to have a think if the bang for the buck is good for that price or if there is something else I wanted before that.

    Combiner height might not work, but individual bots work well. Main bot is Mp-10 height.

    I've mentioned this before but with tax, even adding the giant shipping cost, tf-express has been quietly sitting there with the best price for several months.

    A reissue? Unlikely. More likely these are unsold stock that were then put into a gift set.

    Great price regardless.

    Wow, you weren't kidding. I just ordered a set for $157 shipped. And it looks like it'll take less than 2 weeks to reach me.

    Closer to MP scale. Way taller than Combiner Wars Computron.

    Looks like the the individual bots are around voyager size from what I saw...

    Maybe close to the same size as Feral Rex and the individual predacons? If they’re around the same size as those predacons they could work for my chug shelf.

    I had preordered this at BBTS and then I watched Emgo's reviews and immediately cancelled my preorder. I really don't need that kind of frustration in my life regardless of price. No thank you.
